Hello,

I was looking for feedback on the following question:-

When connecting two MM SFP/SFP+/XFP 's together...(short range).

What should be the best practice receive power range ?

Is it true that if the rx power is higher than (x?) then it shortens the life of the optics ? 
(assumption being made here is that MAX Rx Power is not being exceed as per the spec sheets of the optics)

Regards
